STUDENT COUNCIL
ELECTSOFF!CERS
Emmett Maun is Chosen Presi
dent; Plans Made for
Coming Year
PICK JOHNSON FOR
NEW VICE-PRESIDENT
Emmett V. Maun, '25, Laurel, was
hosen president of the student coun
cil for the next year by newly elect
ed members at a meeting held to
elect officers and to lay plans for
business next year. Richard John
son was elected vice-president of the
ouncil and Frances McChesney was
chosen secretary.
The University administration has
given an office to the council and
plans for financing the activities of
the organization are being worked
out. Eight drives for funds have
been scheduled with the council for
next year and have been set for dates
planned to work the least hardship
upon students. The Mid-west con
vention gave the Nebraska delegates
information in regard to points that
have been undecided and the new
council will act accordingly at the
first meetings in the fall, Mr. Maun
stated.
"The student council is fighting for
a broader and broader field of act
ivity to work in and as a represent
ative body of students is justifying
its existence as a university organiz
ation. We have plans for next year
that will give students a greater
voice in student affairs and will at the
same time be for the benefit of all
concerned," Mr. Maun added.
The council wDl have the power of
application of a new organization for
either recognizing or rejecting the
recognition in the University. This
power was derived by the authority
of the Committee on Student Organ
izations which felt that the council
would be better able to judge the
necessity for organizations that
might apply for recognition. The
committee, however, will take final
action on the council report.

Complete Text of
Ivy Day Address
'Graduates and fellow students:
Once again we are gathered to pay
homage to the ideals and traditions
of our University. For you who
have come back, what golden mem
ories, what reminiscences of delight
ful college days are conjured up by
Ivy Day. Once again you review
those flashes of treasured student ex
perience which were woven in and
out your stay at Nebraska. Time
has not erased them; only softened
them and made them all the more
cherished.
"What a flood of college pranks',
of friendships, of old ambitions come
upon you as you once more stroll
about the campus. A priceless things
those memories. No wealth can buy
them; no misfortune can take them
away. They remain always with you,
suffusing your life with a warm glow
of sentiment. These are gifts, be
stowed upon us by our Alma Matsr
as we leave her, and for which we
are humbly thankful and Teverent.
"And as for us, the undergradu
ates, Ivy day causes us to pause in
our crowded student lifend reflect
just what Nebraska means to us. We
find that we have unconsciously
grown to love her. But it is only at
the thought that we must leave her,
that we appreciate how she has be
come a part of our lives, her sorrows
her successes our successes, and her
ideals our ideals.
"For a moment, we feel as we
would at the loss of an old friend,
that to lose her, is to die a little.
May those with whom she is entrust
ed in the future, be mindful of her
honor, and worthy of her attention.
Citizenship I Theme
"I have chosen as my theme, Uni
versity citizenship. It implies both
ni-ivilptrps and obligations. How croud
1
are we to have the educational ad
vantages offered us by the state!
Throughout attendance at school we
get a quickened sense for the real
values; admiration for what is ad
mirable: esteem for what is trashy ro
impermanent. Our capacity for en
joyment of the cultured and artistic
is increased manifoldly. We may
more closely approach realization of
happiness because we are taught to
recognize the better things in life,
and are in some measure eqquipped
to attain them.
"Through our varied hours of
study, our minds are broadened. We
see how diverse types of excellence
may be: how various the tests; how
flexibl- the adaptation. We learn to
shun narrow-mindedness, to know
a good man when we see him.
Though we may not agree, yet we are

led to respect the honest opinions of
others. We can enjoy fellowship
with those of other creeds without
letting prejudice poison our temper.
"During our stay at college we are
privilegde to develop friendships
friendships which linger with us all
through the years, based not upon
selfish business opportunities, but up
on mental and moral congeniality
friendships which turn back the years
as you alumni meet again at the foot
ball games or the Homecoming.
Offers All Professions
"Our University offers us the en
tire review of trades, sciences, and
professions and allows us to choose
the one best fitted to our liking.
After our choice we are given the
research, all the experiments, all
the counsel which has been devised
on that study.
"Why are we the receivers of these
bounties? First, because we are citi
zens of the greatest of democracies,
whose principles of equality have de
veloped a scale of education never
before equalled. And second, be
cause we are citizens of the state of
Nebraska, which is investing her re
sources in our characters and intel
lects. "As we have privileges, so too
must we have obligations obliga
tions to the University itself and then
obligations to the state. Our Uni
versity is a community, a peculiar
community, cut off from the outside
world. It prospers or declines ac
cording to the standards of its citi
zens, the student body. As citizens,
what are our duties to our commun
ity? - Should Help Freshmen
"First, that of adjusting the
younger younger classmen to his new
environment. He is here, perhaps
for the first time, on his own respon
sibility. Strange faces, a new sense
of freedom, swift passing of college
events a.l tend to confuse him. He
secretly hopes to be a genuine Ne
braskan, but sometimes his perspect
ive is warped and he adopts certain
beliefs and models which later turn
out to be false.
"It is for the .upperclassmen to
help him, set him aright, and start
him on a desirable 'course. This is
one service that the fraternities may
and should render their school. As
a rule, the conduct of freshmen in a
fraternity is a reflection of the habits
and principles of the seniors or lead
ers in such an organization. To a
certain degree, whether they are con
scious of it or not, they give to the
freshman a conception of what to
look for and get out a University
education. . If a fraternity is fortun
ate in having as its leaders men who
are well grounded in what is right
and what iswrong, then it will have
